One such weakness is a lack of segregation of accounting duties. A system shouldn’t provide the same person a chance to create an irregularity and conceal it.

The audit cited a lack of an agreement between the city and golf board for use of the golf course as an issue. No agreement spells out the city and board’s financial responsibilities.

The council approved the audit.

In other business:

The city granted a demolition permit to Emprise Bank for a building between the bank and Prudent Tours. At Paine’s recommendation, the council included conditions for the permit — insurance against damage to Prudent Tours, an agreement with the company, and a landscaping and maintenance plan. The bank will have six months to begin work, or the permit will lapse.

Boy Scouts received permission for a July 1 fireworks demonstration in Memorial Field’s parking lot by Memorial Park. The scouts sell fireworks as a fundraiser for camping and equipment.

Scouts Jesse Meier, Matt Reeh, and Franklin Jost attended the meeting as a requirement for Citizenship in the Community merit badge.

Council members met in closed session for 30 minutes to discuss personnel. No action was taken on returning to open meeting.

The city will hold a party at 2 p.m. Friday to celebrate City Clerk Jan Meisinger’s 30th anniversary with the City of Hillsboro.
